First Master Steps Out and Strikes Dogshit Luck! Divine Treasures Everywhere in Kunlun?
Lin Shen fell asleep contentedly.
He slept exceptionally well that night, dreaming that he was playing with those two "marbles," one hot and one cold, and that his Third Master had made him an even bigger pot of teppanyaki, more than he could eat.
He slept soundly, but the other bigwigs on Kunlun Mountain were all excited and unable to fall asleep.
The Zixiao Palace has listened to the Dao for a thousand years and gained immense benefits.
In particular, the simple and easy-to-understand "children's version" of the Pangu Creates the Heavens story Hongjun Daozu at the end allowed them to take their understanding of the Great Dao to a whole new level.
The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Fuxi were all eager to go into seclusion to properly digest what they had gained this time.
Taiqing Laozi was the first to take action.
Although he verbally proclaimed "Pure and Inactive," he was more scheming than anyone else.
Especially after experiencing the competition for favor with food, toys, and the "Sage's Dimensional Strike," he realized that if he didn't work harder, he might not even be able to touch the hem of his apprentice's clothes.
"No, I need to quickly develop version 5.0 of the Bouncing Great Dao Pill!"
"This time, not only must we be able to burp out the Great Dao Resonant Sound, but we must also be able to fart out Colorful Auspicious Clouds!"
Taiqing Laozi made up his mind to go to the herb garden on the back mountain to pick some new medicinal herbs for research and development.
He walked with steady, measured steps along the path in the Kunlun Mountain.
As the Primordial World's Foremost Divine Mountain, every blade of grass and every tree in Kunlun Mountain is a spiritual being.
But for an existence like Taiqing Laozi, the vast majority of spiritual herbs and medicines are no longer worthy of his attention.
He was deep in thought about the formula for the new elixir when suddenly there was a "thud" under his feet.
I stepped on something soft.
"Um?"
Taiqing Laozi frowned and lifted his foot.
On the ground lay a dark, murky mass, still emitting wisps of Innate Geng Metal Qi... mud?
This mud may look unremarkable, but what kind of vision did Taiqing Laozi) possess?
He could tell at a glance that the material of this lump of mud was extraordinary!
"This is... Chaos Breathing Soil?!"
Taiqing Laozi's eyes widened instantly, and his breathing became more rapid.
Chaos Breathing Soil!
That is a supreme divine object that could only be born from Chaos!
Legend has it that a single seed can transform into a vast world!
The Nine Heavens Breathing Soil that Empress Nuwa obtained back then is like mud compared to gold compared to this Chaos Breathing Soil!
How could something that only exists in legends appear on a path in the Kunlun Mountain?
And you even stepped on it yourself?
Taiqing Laozi felt his heart skip a beat.
He used his magic to lift up that lump of Chaos Breathing Soil, which he had gotten by sheer luck, and held it in his palm, examining it from all angles.
That's right!
It is the Chaos Breathing Soil!
That purest aura, imbued with the essence of the earth and the power of creation, cannot be faked!
"Strange, very strange..."
Taiqing Laozi was completely baffled.
He had spent countless eons in the Kunlun Mountain, knowing every inch of this land better than his own beard, so how come he had never discovered such a treasure?
Was I blind before?
He couldn't understand it, and could only attribute it to "the arrival of the right path."
"Hahaha, heaven is on my side!"
Taiqing Laozi was in a great mood, feeling that his luck had turned around.
With this Chaos Breathing Soil, he can not only refine higher-grade pills, but also use it to strengthen his Tai Chi Diagram, making its power even greater!
He happily put away the Chaos Breathing Soil and continued walking forward.
I had only taken a couple of steps when a mountain breeze blew by.
A golden leaf twirled and floated down lightly onto his shoulder.
Taiqing Laozi subconsciously reached out and picked up the leaf, intending to throw it away casually.
But when his gaze fell upon that leaf, he froze instantly.
The leaf was about the size of a palm, pure gold in color, and covered with dense, mysterious natural Dao Patterns.
A rich, pervasive Bodhi Dao Rhyme emanated from the leaves.
Just one whiff of it makes one feel refreshed and clear-headed.
The illusion of three thousand Buddhas chanting in my ear appeared instantly.
"This... this is... Leaf of the Innate Bodhi Tree?!"
Taiqing Laozi was truly astonished this time.
The Innate Bodhi Tree is the companion spiritual root of the Western Daoist Jieyin, a top-tier Innate Spiritual Root on par with the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree!
Its rarity is in no way inferior to that of the Peach Tree of Immortality of the Kunlun Mountain!
This tree is located on Western Mount Sumeru, hundreds of millions of miles away. How could its leaves have drifted all the way to Kunlun Mountain and landed on my shoulder?
This is unreasonable!
This is completely unreasonable!
Taiqing Laozi held the Bodhi Leaf, feeling his mind was a bit confused.
First, he stepped on the Chaos Breathing Soil as soon as he stepped outside, and then he was hit on the head by Bodhi Leaf.
What's wrong with me today?
Did I step in dog poop without checking the almanac before going out?
He'd never encountered anything so outrageous in all his years.
He stood there, calculating with his fingers.
The heavens were clear and lucid, with nothing unusual.
He calculated his own fortune again and found that his River of Fortune was more than ten times stronger than usual!
An unseen golden carp was frolicking happily in his River of Fortune.
"How strange, how strange..."
Taiqing Laozi racked his brains but still couldn't figure out what was going on.
He could only attribute all of this to the immense gains he had made from listening to the Dao at the Zixiao Palace, which had greatly advanced his cultivation and triggered a change in the flow of fortune.
Yes, that must be it!
Taiqing Laozi found a perfect explanation for himself, and then contentedly put away the Bodhi Leaf.
He decided not to collect herbs today.
He wanted to go back immediately and show off these two treasures that had fallen from the sky to his two younger brothers and Nuwa!
Let them know what true "Profound Fortune" really mean!
Meanwhile, Lin Shen, who was fast asleep, was completely unaware of all this.
He was just dreaming when he felt like he had a few "Lucky Star" pendants.
He dreamt that his First Master went out and picked up shiny mud and glittering golden leaves, and smiled happily at him.
Lin Shen chuckled in his dream as well.
He felt that if his First Master was happy, he would be happy too.
His newly activated passive talent, "Profound Fortune," is faithfully fulfilling its duties.
All living beings whom he truly acknowledges and regards as family and friends will automatically receive his incredible, almost bug-like, blessing of fortune.
Did I step in dog poop on my way out?
That was just an appetizer.
Next, the entire Kunlun Mountain will be thrown into chaos because of this "Walking Child of Fortune".
A new round of intense competition, sparked by "treasure hunting," is about to unfold.
When Taiqing Laozi returned to the Yuxu Palace Dojo with the Chaos Breathing Soil and Bodhi Leaf, his expression saying, "I'm not showing off, I'm just sharing my joy,"...
The Yuanshi Tianzun, the Tongtian Jiaozhu, and Nuwa, who were intensely discussing how to improve their "Child-rearing Plan," all fell silent.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you...?"
Yuanshi Tianzun looked at the two items in Taiqing Laozi's hands, his handsome brows furrowing slightly.
With his keen eye, he naturally recognized the extraordinary nature of those two items at a glance.
"Oh, it's nothing."
Taiqing Laozi spoke casually, but he couldn't suppress the slight upturn of his lips.
"I just went for a walk and accidentally stepped on a lump of Chaos Breathing Soil."
Then a gust of wind blew, and another Bodhi Leaf fell onto my shoulder.
"Ugh, honestly, they can't even let me walk in peace."
His words were spoken with a distinctly Versailles flair.
The Tongtian Jiaozhu and the Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes twitched as they listened.
What does "accidentally stepped on" mean?
What does "a gust of wind" mean?
Do you think we're fools?
Are the Chaos Breathing Soil and the Primordial Bodhi Leaf the same as Chinese cabbages growing in the ground?
They just came like that?
"Brother, what kind of incredible luck did you have?"
The Tongtian Jiaozhu curled his lip and said sourly.
"What incredible luck!"
Taiqing Laozi immediately put on a stern face and corrected him righteously:
"This is called a predestined affinity with the Dao! It is because my cultivation of the Dao is profound and in harmony with Heaven and Earth that the Great Dao has taken the initiative to embrace me!"
"Tch~"
The Tongtian Jiaozhu looked incredulous.
Nuwa watched from the side, a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes.
She could sense that the aura emanating from Taiqing Laozi was indeed much stronger than usual.
Could it really be because his cultivation improved after listening to the Dao at the Zixiao Palace?
She was also somewhat tempted.
How about I go out for a walk too?
Who knows, we might even find something good?
Just then, Yuanshi Tianzun, who had been silent all along, suddenly let out a cold snort.
"They're just external things."
He said it casually, his face full of disdain.
"True opportunities should be sought within one's own path; how can one place their hopes on such illusory luck?"
With that, he stood up, his face aloof, and turned to walk towards his Yuxu Palace.
"I'm going back to studying my Great Dao of Formations and designing new Teaching Tools for Lin Shen."
That silhouette was filled with disdain for "luck" and confidence in "ability".
The Tongtian Jiaozhu glanced at his pretentious back and curled his lip.
"Second Brother just loves to pretend."
However, none of them knew.
A "true fragrance law" that will leave even the Yuanshi Tianzun speechless is quietly unfolding in his Yuxu Palace.
